1977 Topps Baseball #147 - Jackie Brown

Jackie Brown was traded to the Montreal Expos after the 1976 season for Andre Thornton. The Expos had plenty of outfielders coming up, but they probably could have gotten more for Thornton.

Brown pitched his final season in 1977. Jackie was released by the Expos after the 1977 season after he was unable to come to terms on a contract. Jackie signed with the Texas Rangers during spring training in 1978. He spent the entire year with AAA Tucson (12-10, 5.45 ERA) and retired after the 1978 season.
